Penn State prosecutors to appear on Wednesday's "60 Minutes Sports" on Showtime

This is probably a show that a lot of Penn State fans won't want to see.

The advertisement for Showtime is calling it "a look at college football's darkest hour."

Armen Keteyian interviews the lead prosecutors in the Jerry Sandusky case for "60 Minutes Sports." The sports version of the CBS staple "60 Minutes" debuts at 10 p.m. on Wednesday. In the interview the prosecutors allege that Sandusky's abuse began as far back as the 1970s, and they are firm in their belief that prominent Penn State officials knew of Sandusky's behavior and did nothing to stop him.

Here are the details from a Showtime release:

THE PROSECUTORSFor the first time publicly, Frank Fina, Pennsylvania Chief Deputy Attorney General, and Joe McGettigan, the former federal prosecutor, describe how they built their case against Jerry Sandusky, exposing crimes that sullied the shining image of the Penn State University football program and ruined the reputation of its legendary coach, Joe Paterno. The men discuss their investigation, their strategy for prosecuting the serial pedophile and the way they handled the victims, whose testimony was crucial to the conviction.

Current Comments

This will be a real gem.

Will Keteyian ask Fina about his friend Judge Feudale that was fired from being a grand jury judge after an investigation into how he handled the Sandusky grand jury? Note both worked closely together in those grand juries.

Will Keteyian ask them why one of their janitor witnesses decided not to testify at the last second? Or why the other janitor who at the last second was deemed not mentally fit to testify wasn't actually on PSU's payroll at the time he claimed to witness the event?

Will Keteyian ask why one of the state police was caught lying under oath during the Sandusky trial?

Will Keteyian ask why Governor Corbett sat on this case for a few years when he was running for governor?

Will Keteyian ask how Sandusky was able to do what he did without The Second Mile knowing?

Will Keteyian ask why Mike McQueary was told by his father, while McQueary was in the lockerroom, to just leave and not worry about what was going on and not call police?

I don't know of any Penn Staters that are not shocked and appalled by the actions of Jerry Sandusky . I also know no one who does not want to find the truth . This mess will be sorted out in the criminal courts . Hysteria aside , it sure makes for a better story if these PSU officials were involved . But it makes more sense that the pedophile was able to disguise his nature and actions . This will take time , but what can be proven will always trump speculation .

It's amazing that all the peope who drink the PSU Kool-Aid still can't realize that starting with their beloved JoePa all the way up to the Presdent of the university that NOBODY did anything to stop Jerry Sandusky yet they all knew in some fashion. If he were a custodian he would've been fired on day #1 of the allegations but since he was a football coach it's different.

Get over it Penn State people… Your beloved JoePa and everybody else looked the other way and now you're paying the price.

I couldn't be happier that justice was served....albeit too late.
